Krimel to Andre: I suspect that Jung at least would argue that it is not as though we should think and avoid feeling or that we should feel and not think. Rather wisdom is integrating the two and not letting one rule over the other.
Andre: Hi Krimel and apologies for the late response. Agree, and I do enjoy wine and marmalade and the highest intellectual response I can give in explaining why some and not others is that my organic patterns agree with some more than others. But the point you are making of course is that feelings/ emotions/sensations are not necessarily irrational. At the organic level they have ensured our survival ( e.g.:instinct) at the social level they have ensured a 'binding' (e.g. friendships, a sense of 'community/ belonging' etc, etc). But it is about the balance between feelings and intellect. Both complementing and respecting the other. I am reminded of the passage in Lila where Phaedrus is deciding (or not) about selling the movie-rights about ZMM to Redford (Hollywood). It had produced the 'something-wrong, something-wrong... feelings'. Feelings first and then the thinking about it and then realising 'it would be a lower form of life (social/a film) feeding upon the integrity/truth of a higher form of life (intellectual,a book). And that would be immoral. (Lila p263). No financial considerations, no celebrity stuff...just intellectual integrity serving quality/morality.
